hero of Winchester, =" what troops are

again queried the president. penn

spouse. "Fine fellows, those" said
the president, as the command march
ed on and Gen. Wylie's big brigade
with 5000 men in line came up. "Now
what troops are thesey'
"More Pennsylvania troops" said
Sheridan. with evident satisfaction,
for he thinks highly of the guardsmen,
and was about TO add complement
to the men, when the president inter
rupted with some surprise Well,
general, are there no troops in this
parade but Pennsylvania guardsmen?'
"None worth a., Mr.. President"
promptly replied the general, and
Cleveland's respect for Pennsylvania
troops was mighty increased by this
bluff compliment from one who knows
good soldier when he sees him.

the daughter OF Frederick Dupree,

queen OF tho Minneconjou band OF Sioux.
The ceremony was performed by Justice
Minnie, of this city, in the presence OF
1000 Sioux Indians and thirty whites.
After the American ceremony was per
formed, an old squaw came from hut,
chanting a dismal song, as an indication
that the Indians we're satisfied. The
Medicine Man OF the Sioux, then, with
his head covered with q buffalo robe,
burned herbs and invoked the blessing OF
the Great Spirit; after which two Indians
rode white ponies across tho plains and
presented them to the bride and groom as

The feast then commenced, which con-
sisted of ten oxen roasted whole, and 100
dogs boiled into soup. The latter was
not sampled by the whites. The presents
made from the father were 900 cattle, fifty
ponies, and thirty domestic buiIaloes.
Dancing was couimenced and kept up
three days without intermission. As fast
as one Indian was exhausted another took
his place. and the ball went on. The bride
is an ordinary looking squaw with no
education. She was clad in robe of
black silk, with beaver fur trimmings, red
ribbons, and elk teeth ornaments. She
does not look striking, but is regarded as
great catch" ms she is reported TO be
worth $4,000 in her own right, and is the
heiress TO the Dupree estate and 100000

now regard il great honor for white
man 20 marry a squaw. In this case they
are greatly pleased, rejoicing going on
throughout the entire bounds of the

dramas OF national Importance; but

say his autobiagrapher, so completely
was Mrs. Hancock lie identified with
her husband's) has described the
scenes in which he acted with such
distinction and narrated the events
which led to them, with just
sufficient fullness to make the Gen.
erals relations to them clear and
throw light upon his character.
The "Reminiscences" begins with
the marriage OF the writer to General
Hancock at the residence other father.
Mr.. Samuel Russell, in st. Louis, JAN
uary "a, 1850.
I'm chapter 4 Mrs. Hancock describes
wildly the discomtorts to which she
was necessarily subjected at Fort
Meyers, Florida, during the trouble
with the seminoles in 1856.
When the troubles in Florida were
settled General Harvey was trans
ferred to Fort Leavenworth, Kan,
where disturbances were expected.
Hancock, who by this time had be-
come a captain, Joined him there,
serving in the quartermaster' depart
ment until March 81, 1858, when he
was ordered to accompany General
Harney's expedition to Utah, where
complication had arisen be-
tween the Mormans and the
Gentiles. At the close Hancock was
ordered to repeat to Colonel An
drews, commanding at Fort Bridger.
"From Fort Leavenworth to Fort
Brdger the distance is 1000 miles,"
says Mrs. Hancock; from Fort Bridg-
err TO Benecia, Cal, Lilo; total dis
tance, 2,12S miles, and this was cover
ed by Hancock on muleback."
On arriving at Benecia Captain
Hancock found awaiting him a leave
OF absence and returned to the East,
by way OF the Isthmus, for the pur-
pose OF escorting his family back to
the Pacific coast. A period OF two
months was delightfully."- spent in
Washington. Mrs. Hancock digresses
a little to describe this sopurn:
"Mlss Harriet Lane, mistress OF the
White House, with her personal
charms and courtly manners was u
universal favorite, and did great cred
it to Mr.. Buchanan's administration.
Mrs. DAVIS, wife of the Secretary OF
war, Jefferson Davis, whom well re-
member, was endowed with many re-
markable qualities that made her
eminently fitted to be a presiding
genius, and her ntertainments
brought together the most cultivated
class OF Washington society. Mrs.
Joe Johnston was another shining

OF unusual intelligence and quick at

ating in conversation. Her charm
